Technology for Success: Computer Concepts

Campbell/Ciampa/Clemens/Freund/Frydenberg/Hooper/Ruffolo/West's TECHNOLOGY FOR SUCCESS: COMPUTER CONCEPTS, 2nd Edition, teaches students to be digital citizens by engaging them in the history, use and concepts of technology. Modules begin with a scenario introducing how one person may use the concepts covered in the module. The modules’ content are mapped to high-level learning objectives such as databases, networking, hardware, software, the web and digital communication. Each objective is broken into digestible tasks and topics focused on how the student will interact or utilize the technology. Topics covered that go beyond the nuts and bolts of technology include the digital divide, how technology is used in the professional world, applying information literacy skills to web searches, computer safety and health and the legal and ethical responsibilities of being a digital citizen.
